“A very messy game for the orcs, lucky to come away with a draw. Things started badly with the loss of their Troll and followed up a little later with three players taken out in one turn. Along with some bad positioning, and good play from France the first half ended 0-1 with 4 orcs on the field.

The second half did not start well. Reliance on their thrower to compensate for a deficient of players left them 3 men down with the ball in open space only a few feet from the half way line. France recovered nicely and looked like they'd score again except for a brave blitz by a Bob. The result was a block fest, which left 6 players a piece on the field.

On their last turn the orcs tried something risky. With no rerolls they pulled off:
1) two dice block (push required)
2) a 3+ dodge
3) two dice block (push required)
4) 3+ pick up
5) 3+ catch (after hand off)
6) 2+ gfi
7) 2+ gfi

Samba gives a chance of just over 16% for that to successfully occur and the orcs to draw the match.”
